do you ever lose Dev ?
Funny
.... we all know of course I do lose...depending on time of year,.. probably 20-30 percent of the time.
But allow me to point out more than the obvious.
This RuT trade from the 15th till this morning,.. probably out performed many a day trader strategy....and I only pushed a-button twice.
Thus,... experiencing a lot less stress,.. better foucs,...and a better, healthier life.
I always try and keep the actual loses at a small percentage,. and inversely ..
( I always try ) and push my gain percentages above their averages.
Again going back to self analysis,..we should always check-in,.. on our
averages for our gains and
our losses in our trading,...as it's an easy way to maintain consistent control !
Again, stayin in control will put you into that "trading zone" where time seems to slow down and you gain
"hyper-awarness" more easily. This is when we as traders achieve our winning streaks.
If you can't control your mind .........how can you..... exercise optimum control on your trades?
If some think it's just luck,...or even talent...it is Not!
I'm not a big sports nut, or cyclist fan but....
Think about Lance Armstrong, although he tested to have a bigger heart and a biological advantage,.. there
were also biological disadvantages,..like cancer,.. trying to take over control.
What's he doing winning another Tour de whatever,...after cancer?
He didn't obtain remarkable achievements without his mental game in place and in control !
Look Trading is the biggest MIND GAME there is.
Although most traders are constantly reworking and tuning their charts,...it's probably been a long time since "most traders" tuned their Mind.
With that the case it's not surpriseing they will mis what the charts where saying.
One's mind must free to move from being analytical back to being creative,
mixing the science and art to achieve Hyper-Awarness.
Maybe that's all the better traders are really doing?
